The court found that the builders falsely signed documents which claimed the condo tenants had consented in writing to the new apartment complex. Little was also found to have signed documents without the authorization of condo owners, and told the condo board he had a majority interest in the project and could therefore do whatever he wanted with the property.

Veale said Little engaged in the behaviour to contravene the law to suit his own commercial interests.

Veale ordered Little to pay all of the legal fees in the case, in addition to halting the construction to the apartment complex.

Justice Veale says the ruling should act as a warning to other condominium owners, builders and buyers.
